Dr. Heilman's New Treatment
We had lately frequently heard that
Doctor Heilman was placing in his
offices various electric appliances for
producing X-rays and for general
electric treatment of different human
ailments. When he told us that he had
everything arranged and was doing
hußineas and invited us to step in and
see his outfit, we concluded to do so.
The Doctor favored us with a few
sample treatments. Some of them
were very refreshing. We cannot
enumerate nor describe the various
appliances and treatments, because we
are not familiar enough with them to
do so, although the Doctor explained
them very fully and clearly to us. He
assured us that everything was of the
latest approved and best makes and
strictly up-to date. Judging from
general appearance we believe this to
be eorre t. We were particularly well
impressed with the familiarity the
Doctor exhibited in explaining them
and handling them in their various
details. In reply to our commenting on
this he said "that is simply the result
of about two years of hard study and
a few visits abroad, taking "Post
Graduate'" courses in this particular
work." in short this outfit is such
that for appearance, completeness and
for adaptability for the purposes in
tended any pretentious sanitarium
might well feel proud to possess. The
Doctor says that while electricity, as
exhibited in and produced by these
appliances, is not a "cure all" and
everything cannot be clone with it,
yet there are many things that can be
done with it that cannot be done with
anything else and many diseases that
can be cured by its proper application
that cannot be affected by other known
methods. There now seems to be no
need for our people to visit the largo
cities for this class of treatment. It
can be given just as thoroughly in our
own town. It has evidently taken a
considerable amount of money, thought
and work to bring about this result.
The Doctor says that he does not
know that he will get his money back
from the use of his outfit, but that he
does know that he will be able to
do better work for his patients, as well
as derive much personal satisfaction
from its use. We believe our com
munity will appreciate this commend
able spirit of progressiveness.
Base Ball.
The base ball fans witnessed one of
the best played games last Thursday,
seen here in a long time, when Empo
rium defeated the Williamsport P. R.
R. team by the score of 4to 1. Our
boys seemed determined to win and
from the start played a game which it
a credit to themselves and the manage
ment. There was a slight change im
positions, WayneCarburry of Driftwood
was behind the bat and Wm. Leflerof
St. Marys was in left field for the locauis
and both played a nice game. Over
turf waH at nliort-stop and is the rigiit
man for the position. Jimmy Farredi,
first; Chas. •Cummings, second; Eac>h
bacli, third; Mumford, centre and Pisii
er in right; all did effective wonk.
In the eighth Mumford singled a»xi
went to third on two wild throws, Fac
rell hit a hot one to short, who fumbled
it, and was safe on first, went to second
on a balk aad with two men on basee,
Fisher lined .one for two sacks, ai>£
two men soaeed; he was followed by
Hemphill witln one in the same locality,
who scored a little later. The four
runs being made in this inning. Wil
liamsport made their run in the sixth
when Mumford muffed an easy chance.
Little too sureGlene. Hemphill pitched
a great game, having eleven strike
outs and allowing but four hits.
With the boyc playing ball like this
they should reea've the patronage of
the people. Our L-ase ball cranks were
about thoroughly disgusted with the
game played here recently nnd did
considerable kicking, and refused to
attend the games, bat with exhibitions
like the last one they will have a larger
attendance and deserve support.
The Sinnamahoning Juniors came
to Emporium Saturday and played
two gaflhes with the third nine here.
The home boys won both games- first
ft to 3; second— 4 to '2, five innings.

LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE
Hon. Josiah Howard's Letter Accepting the Republi
can Nomination for Representative.
AN ABLE AND INTERESTING DOCUMENT
MK. J. P. M( NAHNEY, Chairman,
Cameron County Jtcjmbiicnn Convenlion.
DEAH SIB:
1 appreciate the courtesy of my noin- j
ination by the Republican Convention
and thank the Republican voters for
their confidence in my ability to repre
sent Cameron county in the Legis
lature.
A representative of the people is sup- 1
posed to use his own judgement in j
matters of legislation as they come he- ;
fore him with the explanations and e.v.
pressions of opinion by other members j
on the floor of the House, but he is also j
a messenger for the people of his dis '
trict; and a decent respect to the opin- j
ions and judgement of his constituents I
demands some statement to them of|
his qualifications and intent.
A groat many discourteous things j
have been said about our legislators,
both state and national, but after on 1 |
term at Ilarrisburg 1 am proud of hav
ing been a member of so fair and Jr.- 1
telligent and honorable a body 1 112
men. lam proud because Penn-,
sylvania and Pennsylvania laws ;
are second to none for justice,
equity, liberality and progress among
the various states of the Union, and 1
am equally proud to he the represent;;- .
tive of Cameron county, which, al
though small, compares favorably in
educational, commercial and financial
activity and progress with neighbor- ;
ing sections of the state.
Our forefathers who colonized and ,
built up our nation were broad minded, j
manly men who came here not seeking !
a job or soft suap, but with the intent i
of establishing for themselves homes j
and businesses better than those which 1
they enjoyed in the lands of their birth j
And when they had reached a fuller |
development, and had thrown off the j
restraining hand of foreign influence, !
they founded our government upon a
basis both equal and fair to all, with
such measures of encouragement to
progress as were consistent with the
safe guarding of individual rights.
They early realized that the most es
sential elements of progress, after es
tablishing an honest and firm founda
tion were the cultivation and growtli 1
of intelligence and the provision of!
means for free, equal and safe trans i
portation, and for easy and quick I
means of communication fur both
social and business intercourse.
To carry out this idea they establish
ed a fundamental platform known as
our Constitution, and provided that
the people through duly elected repre- 1
sentatives should have the power of
amending and broadening and main
taining that, fundamental law. To
make sure that this legislation should ,
be of, by,-and for the people, they stip- j
ulated that their representatives, both 1
state and national, should come back
to them for inspection and approval
every two years. They also provided
that all legislation passed by these rep
resentatives should receive mature and
deliberate consideration, end arranged
another legislative house with a longer
term of office, known as ttee Senate, to
be a cooling off and remodelling place
for supervising iegislat<io« passed by
the lower house. Our Constitution
and all laws of government recognize
that the right of ownership is the funda
mental law of civtluailion,bK.t that such
ownership whether of personal proper
ty, as beast of burden, or of accumu
lated wealth, intending the manage
ment of railroads and factories, shall
be subject to regulation by the Com
ononwealth.
In former times owing to our limited
Tision, we knew of nothing but indi
vidual effort and individual man
agement of property and affairs;
thea came the broader idea of partner
ship and co-operation, and we have
steadily progressed and widened our
horizon till now it is a reeognized (act
that the beat and safest and most per
manent enterprises must be carried on
by what are known ;is corporations or
stock companies It is just as neces
nary and a great deal more important
that these stock companies should be
regulated and controlled by law. It is
also just as neeessary that these corpo
rations and stock companies should he
made to feel the same sense of respon
sihility to the people and to the com
munity at large as is demanded of the
individual citizen.
That the United States has fairly
well succeeded in establishing this
"Liberty and Union, One and Inseparable."— WKßSTEß.
EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, AUGUST in, 1900.
,
form of government and in maintain
ing the high standard of progress and
justice to all men, is evidenced by the !
record of heavy immigration which |
steadily pours into this country year I
:ifter year from the domains of every I
civilized nation in the world, and it is [
also evidenced by the exceedingly
small proportion of that immigration
which ever returns to its native land to
live. The growth of endurance and ;
vitality and the protection and encour- j
agement and developed growth in edu
cational, moral and commercial acti
vity has not been hot house or mush
room growth, but has been gradual,
continual and strong; and 1 cannot
think that I am immodest or without
the pale of facts when 1 claim credit
to what is known as the Republican
party for the larger share in the man
agement and establishment of this !
growth and enduring strength and en- I
terprise.
The Roosevelt administration has j
furnished to the country renewed just- I
ifleation for its faith in the positive, !
sonstructivo and progressive genius of i
the Republican party. So far as our i
present condition of unexampled
material prosperity is duet govern
mental i olicy the credit for this be- !
longs wholly to the tariff and money
policies of the Republican party, which j
have given stability and confidence to
the business interests of the country.
Rut prosperity has its problems and j
dangers no less than has adversity and
as the Republican party has safely led
the country out of the wilderness of,
Democratic hard times, so now- the !
country looks to it for guidaij.ee in the
right uses of prosperity. in 4 % l heodore
Roosevelt we recogniza a leader and
administrator raised up to meet the
conditions and problems of the new
time. His administration has stoyd
and now stands for the largest rights
of'all, for the principal of .a "square
deal" for all and for the determination
to induce wealth and corporate power
to recognize the fact that they have
duties and responsibilities. So called
private corporations are in reality pub
lie servants deriving their franchises
and prollts from the public. Public
service of this kind no less than civil
service is a public trust which should
not be looked upon as an opportunity
for mere private gain, much less for
graft.
All honest men eourt publicity and
are not afraid of criticism. No party
or individual can claim immunity from
some wrong or error and the Republi
can party is no exception, but it claims
leadership in honesty of etrort and
energy of action to correct and im
prove the civil, judicial, legislative and
executive management of public af
lairs both state and national.
No man can paint a picture or work
out a problem of commercial or in
dustrial improvement unless he has a
vision in his mind of the scope and the
prospective profit of that enterprise.
Nor can he plan and build a castle or a
sky-scraper uuless he knows the size
and the shape and the utility as well as
the form of the building which he wish
es to construct, and he must have a
vision *nd a picture in his mind of its
size and shape and beauty.
It is just as necessary to have a plan
or a pattern to work by as it is to have
the ambition and the intention to per
forin something of which wo might be
proud. This principle will apply just
as fully and Just as essentially to a man
entering public life as it does to the
business man or the .-architect, and I
am proud to say tlt?.t I know of no
better example,or of no oaaii of a higher
conception of the possibilities of pro
gress undcommercial development and
national bonor than tie man, our
president, Theodore Roesevolt, and I
am proud t<* feel that you wish to give
me a chance to paint a umall picture
and make a small effort ou the lines
laid down by this formost citizen of the
age.
It has been said that you must break
an egg to make an omelet, but I wish
t« call your attention to the fact that
breaking the egg does noi, ->n smash
ing it with a hammer and destroying
part of the meat, but that it means
simply the opening of the shell; and I
want to say to you that my impression
of the leaders of the I>emocratic party
has always been that they- were just us
honest and just as sincere in their ef
forts to make «.« good omelet as the
Republican party has made and in j
capable of making again, but that they !
never understood the difference be- |
tweon destroying the egg and the open- I
ing of the shell.
To control our corporations would j
destroy them; to correct some minor
abuses in the tariff they would wipe it
out; to restrain some overzealous
policeman they would abolish the
police force; to keep some men from
becoming too wealthy would destroy
i all individual incentive by advocating
I government ownership.
There is nothing so important to the
development of the nation as the en
couragement ol individual effort, ami
, there is also nothing more i
important than that each individual
should feel that his own efforts and en
ergy will be given fair play in the race
of progress,
j This the Republican party has done;
this the Republican party proposes to
do. Its rirst motive is to form a firm
and secure government, and its second
motive is to develop and encourage
J individual effort. It is also the pur- j
; pose of the Republican party to en- j
! courage co operative of stock company I
I development and energy, subject '
i always to such restrictions and regula- |
tions as shall not discourage private)
I individual efforts and ambition,nomat- j
j ter on how small or large a scale the j
, individual wishes to make the attempt, i
j All organizations of laboring men to I
i improve their social and material con !
j dition are entitled to the same pre j
i tection and encouragement as combi ,
nations of business men, and, of course !
! should always be subject to the same
| restrictions and regulations.
No man can buy out another man's
; business and make a success of it un
less he has a grasp of the possibilities
jof increasing it. It is all right to cut
| down expenses, providing it does not
; cut down the positive and initative
j fop.,.' of progress. It is not low !
aala.ies and cheap machinery j
jwe want, but better machinery, j
at a higher price, if it '
| wiii i've letter results; and it is not !
I a low tariff and cheap money that we ■
j want, but a better tariff and better and |
i more elastic money, better protection
j from weak and unscrupulous competi
tion and cheap financial theories.
No man is competent to remodel a
house who is not competent to plan a
new one, because he will not realize
the importance of the foundations nor
the eternal fitness of things necessary
to harmonize it as a whole The
Democratic party are not suitable con
tractors to remodel our tarifT or our
money standards, because they do not
understand the foundations of these
institutions and have no clear concep
tion of their purpose and importance
| to our enterprising and progressive, as
well as safe and sound, National life.
Bryan says,abolish the gold standard,
mix some other metal with the gold and
make money cheap. Bryan says, don't
let men get too rich, pass a law that no
man can be a director in more than
one company.
It is not cheap money we want but
honest money. It is not one horse,
men that we want but honest men; and
you do not make men honest by stop
ping them from doing business. Do you
know, Mr. Chairman, that every dollar
of paper money issued by the banks is
backed up by one dollar and seven
cents of United States bonds deposited
at Washington. That is honest money,
that is gold standard American money
and we are proud of it, and all the
world is glad to get some of it.
Our people, irrespective of party,
evince their honesty and patriotism by
1 open and enthusiastic recognition of
! the honesty and manhood of Theodore
I Roosevelt; but it is surprising that
! some of our people calling themselves
| Roasevelt-Bryanites would just as hon
| estly and enthusiastically declare
I Bry*n a secoad Roosevelt. One is an
j open, straightforward, manly states
, mat, standing for protective tariff,
I sousd money and fair play alike to the
corporation* and the individual work
j er, while t~e other openly and anx
> iously pondering to the prejudices and
passions of men, has laid himself open
to the charge ot insincerity, by sweep
i iug from populism and free trade
| through free silver and the reorgani
zation of the supreme court to his pres
ent place to restrict individual ambi
j tion. One man represents warm
i health v sunshine, and the other sings
i of sweet delusive moonshine.
In the last Legislature I tried to use
my influence for bettor roads, better
schools, better police protection, better
inspection of the hospitals, coal mines
and factories, better divorce laws,
better health and game laws; and more
especially for more independent action

Self Made Men.
We noticed in last weeks Independent ;
an article entitled "Wealth, Influence." j
Let tue ask the writer if lie knows ol a
Democratic candidate who is more of a |
self made man than either lion. (ieo. .1. 1
Laßar, or our own country boy, William j
J. Leavitt? These men by hard laborious !
work have couie up from the very lowest 1
rounds of the ladder. Mr. Leavitt has i
worked-in the woods a number of sum- i
mers right here in our own valley and j
these men who know him best are and
will be his most ardent supporters in
November. Here's success to our woods
man candidate. His election i-: a cer
tainty. VINDICATOR.
A Daughter of the Revolution.
Miss Marian E. Larrabee has been j
notified by The National Association of j
Daughters of the American Revolution, '
Washington, D. C., of her election to !
membership in that society. Miss Lar- j
rabec filed her proofs « »f descent from i
Revolutionary ancestry, through her lath- i
er s people, and same was verified and j
accepted by the Association.
Two of her ancestors, one of theui an;
officer, served in a \ ermont regimotit in j
the war for American Independence, j
Anions others, one of the purposes of j
the organization is i in the prcser- j
vation of places of lii.-t ui .MI iutdrcst imd :
importance.
An Exciting Runaway.
There was an exciting runaway down j
town Tuc.day evening which came near j
resulting seriously. Tom Nickerson, |
Linn Strayer and William J. Leavitt
started out from *he coal yard with .Mr. j
■Strayer s crack driving team fur a drive j
up town. They had scarcely started j
when the team began to run and soon j
were temporarily beyond c mtrol. When J
they reached the Metht>di>t church they I
swerved around an electric light pole |
and Mr Leavitt was thrown to the ground i
in front of the wagon. The wheel pass
ed over his arm and legs but fortunately
no hones were broken. How he escaped
serious injury will always remain a mys
tery. Mr. Nickerson finally managed to
guide the team up the hill and succeeded
in stopping them at the end of Allegheny
A venue.
Magnificent Exhibition.
The program to be presented by the 1
Liberty Moving Pictures is replete I
with special features, introducing comedy, j
pathos aud dramatic incidents and com- j
prises the most wonderfully realistic
pictures ever exhibited on any stage.
Each subject is the acme of scientlic art,
a headline in itself, and goes to make up
a most complete and exceptionally pleas
ing entertainment of animated views.
Mechanical effects accurately repro
ducing every sound indicated during the
action of the pictures, form one of the
iealistic features of the presentation, and
a special staff of skilled stage employes
accompany the exhibition to insure a
perfect illusion. This attraction has been
secured for the Emporium Opera House
on Tuesday, Aug. 28th, with a special
matinee at 3:30 p. m. Prices, 50, 35
and 25c; Children 15c: Matinee prices,

Democracy's Order of Things Stirs
up a Hornet's Nest.
The action of the Democratic couuty
convention last week with reference to
the appointment of conferees by the chair
man of the convention has called forth
i coniderahle comment, pro and con.
. Many Democrats have expressed their dis-
I approval of establishing such a precedent.
For years it has been the custom to per
mit the district nominees to appoint their
j own conferees and to deny them this
j privilege naturally causes considerable
j disapproval. The ijuestion was strenu-
I ously opposed in the convention, but the
| llenovo contingent, assisted by those in
j sympathy with the now plan, controlled
| the convention and defeated the oppon
; eats of the innovation. From what can
: be learned this action will not conduce to
1 harmony in the Democratic ranks.—
i Lock Haven Express. This is nothing to
j what the Clinton citizens will experience if
they once allow the Elk Gang to fasten
I its fangs into Clinton county affairs.
They would have no rights; would be
i simply serfs.
The Libetty Amusement Co's high
class Moving Pictures come to us with an
endorsement of eight consecutive return
date tours covering the larger cities of
New England eight times in less than two
seasons. Further evidence is scarcely !
needed to guarantee the entertaining j
<jnalities of this attraction, and is man-*
agerial promises are only half fulfilled, I
little will be left wanting to make the I
engagement here Tuesday, Aug. 28th, a |
